DeAndre Hopkins Prop Picks: Star Wideout Returns for Thursday Night Football
A key Arizona Cardinals offensive weapon will return for Thursday Night Football against the New Orleans Saints. Let's examine three DeAndre Hopkins props.
Fantasy football managers who drafted DeAndre Hopkins can now rejoice. Hopkins' six-game suspension has ended, and he returns to action in Week 7.
Putting him in your fantasy lineup is a simple decision because we know Hopkins is an elite wide receiver. But sports betting and fantasy aren't quite the same in terms of evaluating players. The totals given for Hopkins will reflect the high level of play we expect, so let's examine where the numbers opened and if there's any value offered.
Here are my top Hopkins prop picks for the Cardinals-Saints matchup on Thursday Night Football (odds via PointsBet, BetMGM, and Caesars Sportsbook).

DeAndre Hopkins Prop Picks
DeAndre Hopkins Prop Predictions
Hopkins Over 60.5 receiving yards (-115 via PointsBet)
PointsBet is offering a really good line here. I have Hopkins priced at -118 for the Over, leading to the slightest edge. You certainly don't want the Under at this number since that should have been trading at +118.
It's nice to see that you're getting the green light here based on the numbers, as few who are interested in playing Hopkins props are looking at the Under.

Hopkins Over 5.5 receptions (+120 via BetMGM)
You can definitely bet the Over on receiving yards, but Hopkins' reception total comes with a bigger edge for bettors. There could be a connection between that and Marquise Brown not being healthy for the Cardinals, as he's received 64 targets in 2022.
I have this priced at +101 for the Over on 5.5 receptions, which is pretty close to PointsBet's +105. It's possible to find a small edge at PointsBet, but BetMGM is offering +120 for Over 5.5 receptions, which increases the prop's value dramatically.
Hopkins anytime touchdown (+150 via Caesars)
Be sure to shop around before placing your bet here, as many different numbers are available. DraftKings lists Hopkins at +115 to score a touchdown, while Caesars is offering him at +150.
Hopkins led the Cardinals with six targets inside the 5-yard line in 2021. Kyler Murray should be looking Hopkins' way often after being without his primary weapon to begin the season. Hopkins has shown throughout his career that he can win 50/50 balls, and I'm confident he'll come through on Thursday.
